Kilmaronock Church

Kilmaronock Church is an ecclesiastical building dating from 1813. It is a Classical hall-church with a domed stone bellcote. The church is constructed from red sandstone rubble with harl-pointing, ashlar margins, and ashlar dressings. A base course and quoins are present. The windows are round-headed, and the church has a group value.

The west elevation features a pedimented design, including a broad ashlar doorpiece with a round-headed, two-leaf panelled door and a large radiating fanlight above. A blank sandstone panel sits above the door, topped by a bellcote. The bellcote itself is built of red sandstone ashlar, with a square base, round-headed louvred openings, an eaves cornice, a lead domed roof, and a finial.

The north and south elevations each have three large, symmetrically placed round-headed windows with ashlar margins and keystones. An emergency exit has been added to the left-hand elevation. The east elevation contains a later stained glass window set within an original round-arched opening, with an apron below the window.

The windows are timber sash and case designs with 36 panes, and include radiating glazing to the heads. A communion table window features timber plate tracery and stained glass. The roof is covered in grey slate.

Inside, the church has a coved ceiling with delicate plasterwork over grills. There is a wooden dado, simple pews, and a gallery supported by slender columns at the west end. A dentillated cornice runs along the interior. The communion table is located at the east end, accompanied by late 19th century furniture. Marble memorial plaques, dedicated to the Buchanan family, are also present.

The graveyard includes a number of memorials dating from the earlier to late 19th century, including obelisks and Celtic cross memorials.

A loosely-built rubble boundary wall with semi-circular coping runs around the site, incorporating square gatepiers with depressed ashlar caps.

The church replaced an earlier church, and the adjacent manse is listed separately, as is Gartocharn Parish Church. The church remains in ecclesiastical use.
